Is John whistling the coda of Hello, Goodbye at the end of Two of Us?
Ya gotta hand it to irender. Hiding in plain sight was this stunning revelation about the Beatles. I was driving to work this morning, no music playing and out of nowhere it dawned on me that the whistling at the end of I Dig A Pony is very similar to the coda in Hello, Goodbye. As many times as I’ve heard both songs I can’t believe I haven’t noticed this. Am I the last person to realize this? MikeP5877 is quick (30 seconds or so) to rain on his parade: I think you mean "Two of Us" But either way, no. But the Beatards are not so quick to dismiss: The similarities are there, but I never noticed that until you mentioned it. You've a good point. There is a strong similarity in the melodies, I think, now that you mention it. Ya know...it never occurred to me, but yeah...it sounds like the coda to Hello Goodbye. That's how I will hear it from now on. nore the snark from other posters. That was a great observation and it doesn't have to be the exact melody-it's close enough plus we know John is very clever with his ad-libs and I would never put it past him to use "Hello Goodbye" as a "Two of Us" send-off. Just another time John Lennon was so smart that it takes time for us relative neanderthals to catch up to his intelligence. I may never have realized if you didn't mention it. Great observation! :edthumbs: However, there is still dissent: Don't hear much similarity if you mean Two Of Us. Is there whistling on Pony? (Rfreeman is such a moron) I hear it always as a quote from Howlin' Wolf's "Killing floor", especially the ending of "The two of us". At first, I thought Make69 was taking the piss, but it turns out he's from Finland. Don't think so. May be the same notes, but not the right rhythm. Mercifully, RayS, who apparently is Beatarded enough to know the Get Back sessions by heart, puts an end to all speculation and shows the naysaying Beatards that they are idiots at the same time: The "Two of Us"/"Hello Goodbye" connection existed at least a week before the finished version was recorded. From January 24, 1969: @9:20-ish Whew. Glad we got that sorted out. Now, does anybody know what song Lennon is farting at 12:17 on side B of Two Virgins?

If this was the real world and they were talking about anything useful, MikeP5877's reputation would be in jeopardy. The inter song reference is surely, so obvious to not even be a point of discussion.

Backing bands that became bigger than the star.I was listening to Joey Dee and The Starliters this morning and recalled that the Starliters became The Rascals. So what other bands left their former bosses behind in level of success? OK, let's get the obligatory Beat Brothers/Tony Sheridan out of the way.Then there was Terry Knight and The Pack, The Pack becoming Grand Funk Railroad, with Terry as manager until they ousted him. Other examples?  The Beatles acting as a backing band for singer Davy Jones at the Cavern Club, Liverpool, 1962 ...and why did The Beatles make it and Davey Jones didn't? The trousers. The Beat Brothers did okay. Please refer to OP.  The Silver Beetles, Johnny Gentles' backing band on his north Scotland tour in 1960. Tony Sheridan's backing band did pretty well for itself. Hey we've only mentioned the Beatles three times this page, so did you know THE BEATLES were once someone's backing band?!?!?!

Someone has bravely asked 'Why all the beatles threads' (no punctuation or grammar so I assume they're an idiot). Cue pages (literally) telling him how good The Beatles are. It's genuinely embarrassing to see grown men act this way.
autumn daze (already certified a cunt and a half)
Olompali's utopia is a meadow filled with Jeatleboe clones
Mike Visco deflects and fails to not be another shit stain
Arnold Grove...someone...anyone...put him out of his misery.
schnitzerphilip is so butthurt that he has to offer a photo of Macca flipping the bird and still looking gormless
DLD needs to reaffirm in the echo chamber
OP slays them all:
But you weren't there man, so you don't count. Fuck off, PRW94

How miserable Arnold Grove's life must have been before the winky emoji. I've seen him have to explain that his poats are serious unless they have the wink. It's a pretty sweet gig being an idiot that gets your fellow shut-ins to think you are being an idiot ironically.

Mercifully, RayS, who apparently is Beatarded enough to know the Get Back sessions by heart... Well, he did (co-)write this book:  |

There’s not a word in the English language for what they mean to me. When was the word Beatard coined? And were we the ones who came up with that? I first used it a couple of years ago at SHiTeVil, unaware that it had already been coined. My poat was deleted...Grot comment was something like, "Beatard? Sooo offensive". |

Yes, it's offensive to bona fide retards who don't want to be associated with the Beatles.

The CD in question is Please Please Me from the Beatles in Mono box. It plays correctly but Windows Media Player and Power DVD 12 both display the front cover of Rubber Soul. The album name and tracklist is also that of Rubber Soul, but click on Track 1, Drive My Car, and it plays I Saw Her Standing There. The rest of the CD follows suit, correct song, but wrong details displayed. I Googled it and most answers point to the player using wrong information from whatever database they use, rather than a defect with the CD itself. I tried manually altering the details track by track, very time consuming, but it reverts to the Rubber Soul default the next time the disc is loaded. All the other discs in the box are fine. I've never had any CD misidentified except this one. Any suggestions gratefully received! A first-world problem, discovered by a first-class twit... |

I mean how will he really know which album he is listening to? Sure it sounds exactly like Please Please Me, but his eyes tell him it's Rubber Soul. Poor bastard better have the ears. |
